Bauble Christmas Ornaments

Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and I absolutely love decorating for it. We actually have 4 decorated trees in our house. We have a small one on the kitchen counter, my daughter has a little 2 foot one in her bedroom, we’ve got our big one in the living room, and this year I set up a big one in my bedroom. I’m covering that one with only crocheted items.

These bauble ornaments are a definite must-have if you want a crochet decorated tree. You can make as many or as few of these as you’d like. They’re super quick to make, and the possibilities for color options are endless. These are also great for using up those scraps of yarn that you have laying around.

Abbreviations:

ch: chain

sc: single crochet

sl st: slip stitch

inc: increase (2 single crochets in one loop)

dec: decrease (pull yarn through loop, pull yarn through second loop, yarn over and pull through all loops)

Materials needed:

Any worsted weight yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver. You can use any colors you’d like, but make sure you have grey for the top part.

G (4mm) crochet hook

Poly-fil

Yarn needle

Ribbon

This pattern is worked “in-the-round”, and stitches are worked through both loops unless otherwise noted.

Bauble:

Ch 3. Sl st to first ch to create circle. (Instead, you can perform the “magic circle” if you’d like.)

Row 1: Ch 1, 10 sc inside of circle. (10 stitches)

Row 2: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next stitch, repeat from * around. (15 stitches)

With grey yarn, ch 3. Sl st to first ch to create circle. (Instead, you can perform the “magic circle” if you’d like.)

Row 1: Ch 1, 10 sc inside of circle. (10 stitches)

Row 2: In inside loops only, sc in each stitch around. (10 stitches)

Row 3: Sc in each stitch around. (10 stitches)

Tie off. Stuff with poly-fil. Position on top of bauble and sew on.

Attach ribbon through the top to hang it from your tree.

I hope you enjoy this pattern! You’re welcome to sell items that you make using my patterns, as long as you don’t post the pattern anywhere else, and link back to my page if you’d like to. If there are any mistakes, or something is unclear, please feel free to message me on Facebook.
